Super nice #macOS related fixes upcoming in #LibreOfficešŖā¤ļø
macOS dictation had a problem where dictated text would only show, once you make a pause speaking. That was inconvenient as it is much easier to gather your thoughts when spoken text appears immediately.
Another issue that has been ongoing for many many years was, that when you scrolled the sheet in calc and while scrolling was still ongoing pressed cmd for some operation, the zoom level would change. This extremely annoying behavior is no longer.
Both fixes done by #PatrickLuby of #NeoOffice - we should all thank him!
Will take some time for those to trickly down into stable, but 25.2 will bring those fixes for sure.

As you may be aware, Apple is releasing macOS #Sequoia today. Every effort is being made to ensure Remote Incident Managerās readiness for Sequoia as soon as possible. At the time of writing, we are hard at work addressing some challenges brought about by Sequoia. In particular, a new permissions condition currently strongly impacts the long-term viability of unattended sessions on Mac targets. The remote accessibility module on Mac targets has also been impacted. We are currently in talks with Apple support concerning these issues, and it is our hope to have a solution ready in due course. However, at this time, we strongly recommend remaining on macOS Sonoma if at all possible. We further recommend that you advise any Mac users you provide support/training to to hold off on updating to Sequoia as well. We will keep you apprised of further developments, and will give an all clear once Rim can be pronounced fit for use on Sequoia.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and we thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Chrome on the Mac uses less battery than Safari
It's one of the most pervasive common wisdoms shared all over the web, no matter where you go - it's one of those things everybody seems to universally agree on: Chrome will absolutely devastate your battery life on the Mac, and you should really be using Safari, because Apple's special integration magic pixie dust sprinkles ensures Safari sip
I tend to feel like most moaning about Apple is overblown but the latest version of #macos making it excessively hard to run cronjobs might well be the thing that finally pushes me back onto desktop linux (or BSD?) after 12+ years.
The selling point was always that it's a Unix environment with a nice graphical setup but if they're going to make it excessively hard to use the Unix side of things in a normal way then what's the point?
Minicpm-v 2.6 is the only recent model that was added. Maybe time to move on. :( #LLM #multimodal #AppleSilicon #MacOS #ML #AI

Today I just got Software Update message for the latest version, and it warms my heart because it adds #accessibility support
Whenever you see a good app adding or improving accessibility support, please share the news. We need to normalize adding accessibility to all apps.
1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible:
- Why I switched to Linux
- How you can do the same.
I cover design-specific concerns like:
- How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux
- Which design tools are available and how to install them
- How to find help if you get stuck

Over the years, I have scoured the internet for various versions of the Mac HIG PDFs. Here is my collection so far.
Some neat ones include HIGs for Mac OS 8 & a preliminary Mac OS X version from the Public Beta.
These HIGs contain general desktop guidelines that still apply today & that you can't find in the modern HIG.
Please retoot! Everyone should read these.

If you use brewās curl on macOS, are you really using it? I installed and had curl setup a couple of years ago. Today it appears that curl was now pointing to Appleās version, which has this issue (daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/03/08ā¦). Looks like brew doesnāt add a symlink for curl to /opt/homebrew/bin. Running `ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/curl/bin/curl /opt/homebrew/bin` resolved the issue.

Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.
Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.
Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

This December, if thereās one tech New Yearās resolution Iād encourage you to have, itās switching to the only remaining ethical web browser, Firefox. According to recent posts on social media, Firefoxās market share is slipping. We should not let that happen. There are two main reasons why switching is important.āRed Pandaā by Mathias Appel is marked with CC0 1.0.
1. Privacy
Firefox is the only major browser not built by a company that makes money from advertising and/or selling your personal data. Thereās been a lot of talk about websites tracking users using cookies, fingerprinting and other nefarious technologies that hurt your privacy. But owning the browser puts Google, Apple and Microsoft in a position where they donāt even need those tricks. We need to use browsers that are independent, and right now that means Firefox.2. Browser engine monopoly
Wikipedia lists four browser engines as being āactiveā. Browser engines are the bits that take a web pageās code and display it on your screen. Ideally, they conform to the official W3C standards, and display all elements as it describes. If thatās the case, web developers can easily write sites that work on all browsers. No proprietary vendor lock-in nonsense, just glorious open standards at work.Itās happened before
In the early 2000ās, Internet Explorer had a massive 95% market share. This meant that many sites were only developed for use with IE. Theyād use experimental features that IE supported, in favor of things from the official HTML standard. This was a very bad situation, which hindered the development of the World Wide Web.Currenty, Chrome, Safari and Edge all use variations of the closely related Webkit and Blink engines. If we want to avoid another browser engine monopoly, we need to support Firefox, and its āGeckoā engine.
Firefox is actually really good
If Firefox would be a bad browser, I would not recommend you to switch. Itās fast, has a nice user interface, and feels every bit as modern and elegant as its competition. Iāve been using it as my main browser for a couple of years now, on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android. As a web developer, I usually have at least three browsers open, but when I go look something up on the web, I pick Firefox.So please, help save the web by using the best browser out there. Itās an easy thing to do, and it makes a big difference.

Man Reader - my Mac app for reading Terminal command man pages - has finally had its long awaited update. The new version is now waiting for review.
Currently, Man Reader costs USD 4.99 or the local equivalent. I will be increasing this to USD 9.99 when the update is released, so if you want to save some money, buy it now and get the upgrade at half-price.

Interesting to see #gnome post about their #macOS CI builder issues the day after I posted a video about "understanding who your open source constituency is".
It's pretty clear that macOS users are not Gnome's constituency. Fine. But it also goes to show just how much #inkscape, #gimp and other Free Software downstream must also not be their constituency because we're so misaligned on this topic and there's no discussion about our relationship with gnome
